End-of-Year #VintagePledge Prizes Are Back

It sure has been a little while, but I'm delighted to be back with good news for #VintagePledge friends!

Despite my rather laissez-faire approach since #VPJuly, you've been busy sewing bees and we'd like to acknowledge your wonderful work with another End-of-Year Competition! First I’ll talk you through the fantastic prizes, categories and our guest judges, then I’ll explain how to enter...

THE PRIZES

Dresses
With dresses being the most popular #VintagePledge entry, we're offering up a prize each for two lucky winners. £50 each to spend on anything online at either Sew Over It or Weaver Dee.

Tops

T-shirts, blouses, shirts, as well as crop, halter and any other tops you've made will be in with a chance of winning £50 to spend online at Sew Essential.

Bottoms

This category covers all bottoms, including culottes, jumpsuits and playsuits, with the prize being £50 to spend online at Girl Charlee Fabrics.

Outerwear & Accessories

We're recognising the best of your coats, hats, gloves, scarves and all other accessories including toys and homewares, with £50 to spend online at Remnant Kings.

Best Pattern Adaptation
Creativity goes a long way, so if you've refashioned, modernised or hacked your vintage pattern in any way we want to know about it. You could win £30 to spend online at Beyond Measureand a carefully selected fabric kit from Sew Wardrobe.

Showstopper
Finally, we're looking for the wow-factor...an extravagant wedding dress, evening gown perhaps, coat, suit, etc! If you impress you could win a £100 fabric hamper from Minerva Craftsand three patterns of your choice from Decades of Style.

GUEST JUDGES

Kerry and I are very excited to have Kate and Rachel of The Foldline fame to help us pick this year's worthy winners...thank you SO much ladies!!!

If you don't already have permission to pin, then just get in touch with your Pinterest username/email address and I'll give you the relevant rights.

You don’t need a blog to take part and if you don't have a Pinterest account, just email me your picture(s) and I can add them for you.

Rules

• You can enter as many items as you like for each category
• Please only upload one picture per entry

I have just finished a vintage coat which I am very proud of. I have tried to put it on the pin board but I can't - IT skills have failed me...again! http://joeveryday19.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/diary-of-vintagepledge-coat-challenge.html

Calico Laine (calicolaine.co.uk) is a good place to start. They have an excellent selection of fabric, buttons, zippers, and other materials you might need. They might offer a deal if you buy in bulk, too.
